Description:

Want to be part of a dynamic news team in the Sarasota, Florida and Lakewood Ranch, Florida areas? The Sarasota Observer and the East County Observer are looking for a storyteller to take our sports coverage to the next level. If you like to tell the stories of what drives athletes before they ever get to the playing field or arena, you have found the right fit. We are an area rich in athletic opportunities, but we are more about the athletes themselves than the games. We are home to North America's No. 1 rowing facility; we host the senior PGA Tour's Ryder Cup style competition that hosts the legends of the sport, we feature some of the greatest golf courses in America; we are an area that relies on sports tourism; and we are a minor league baseball and Spring Training baseball hotbed. Besides some of the world's most beautiful beaches, the area sports a host of amazing parks and offers many opportunities for those who love an active lifestyle. If you want to be part of our team, send your resume and clips to Jay Heater, managing editor, East County Observer, jheater@yourobserver.com. We are looking to fill this position as quickly as possible. Feel free to call Jay Heater at 941-755-5357, Ext. 206.
